CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT | FLABBERGASTEDNATHANDoctor Alex's statements shock me beyond words. I lower my phone and double-check the number, making sure I am talking to the right person. The contact shows that I am truly talking to Doctor Alex. “Are you sure you have the right number?" I ask. “Of course." My brain still doesn't digest the crazy news I am hearing right now. I feel like I flushed my brain down the fucking toilet. I can hear the shit Doctor Alex is saying, but can't seem to understand it. “Miss Alena must have hit her head against something. She does not recognize her surroundings. She began panicking when she woke up and we had to force her to take sedatives to calm down." I try speaking, but I am unable to. Seems like my brain isn't the only thing that isn't working. “Are you sure you are talking to the right person?" I respond, not quite believing his words.“Yes, I am one hundred percent sure." I am shocked beyond words. In my entire existence, I have never h
CHAPTER FORTY-NINE | DECEITNATHAN“Hey babe." I greet, waving nervously at my mate. She immediately stops screaming, watching me like a hawk. “How are you feeling?" I ask. “Who are you?" Came her meek reply. I feel an ache deep in my stomach, and I turn away from her, attempting to keep my emotions in check. I thought the worse pain I will ever feel is watching my mum get killed right in front of me and not being able to do anything, but the pain of Alena asking who I am hurts much worse. Pulling my shit together, I warmly smile at her and move towards her bed. She shuffles backward, taking a needle near the bedside table, and points it at me threateningly. “Stay away from me. Don't come near me. I won't hesitate to use this in you." Where the hell did she get a fucking needle?I raise my eyebrow at her when I notice her hands shaking violently. I chuckle at her and take long strides toward her. “Put the needle down babe," I tell her. “Stay away from me you freak." She ye
CHAPTER FIFTY | THE PAST NATHANMaster? Who the hell is the master that she is talking about? “Which master Alena?" “The one that comes every Wednesday to give me oral lessons." She innocently responds. “What the hell are you fucking talking about?" I growl viciously. Alena whimpers, she scrambles away from me, and flinches when I tried to touch her. Great...just fucking great, all my progress is lost. “Please, try to keep your anger at bay, Alpha, you must not scare her. She is very sensitive and fragile right now." Doctor Alex instructs. Doctor Alex is still here? I forgot that he was even with us. “Could you kindly excuse us?" I say facing Doctor Alex. “No, you need to understand that Miss Alena is my patient, and she is unstable for now. I don't want you doing anything that would trigger her or affect her memories." He responds passionately. I love the fact that he is passionate about his job as a Doctor, but I am passionate about my mate. There's nothing more passion
CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE | QUESTIONS NATHAN“I didn't know you had a sister," I state her harshly. I didn't mean to speak to her so harshly, but I couldn't help it. She thinks...she was told rather that she has a sister. She believes she does, but the truth is she never had a sister. “Are you sure that you are my boyfriend? Cause I am one hundred percent sure that I would have introduced you to my sister if you are truly the one for me." She says, looking at me suspiciously. “Trust me, I am the one for you."Taking her hand gently, I link our hands. Alena gasps in surprise and stares at me in wonder. “Do you feel that? Do you feel the spark?" I ask her. She widely shakes her head, switching her gaze from our interlocked hands to my face. “The spark means that you are mine, and you will always be mine...mine alone." She blushes, taking her eyes off my face and instead, staring at my hands holding her. The way the mentally younger Alena is behaving is quite amazing. She is so shy a
CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO | BABY DADDYNATHAN “Who the hell are you and why the fuck are you calling my Boyfriend your love?" Alena yells, emphasizing the word boyfriend. “You just scolded me for cursing but you just did the same thing." Carson points out. Alena rolls her eyes, blatantly ignoring him. She watches Clementina like a Lion ready to pounce on its prey. Clementina comes into the room and moves towards me, ignoring Alena's question. “Baby, you didn't come back to bed last night. I missed you." She says, looking directly at me. Confused, I turn to my back, then my left and my right, trying to find who she is talking to. Had she finally gone crazy and is now talking to ghosts? “Who the hell is she talking to?" I whisper to Carson. “I don't know, but something tells me that you and your mate will not like the answer to that." He whispers back. “Stop ignoring me, baby. What you did yesterday really hurt me. I know what I told you must have been a shock to you, but you didn't h
CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE | BROKEN TRUST NATHAN“I don't know what he was talking about," I respond. “But...but he just asked how my head is, and you also asked the same question earlier." “Half of the things that spill out of Carson's mouth are shit, and I only asked you how your head was because you asked me first. I don't know why I can't stop myself from telling her more lies. It is like I am being controlled by some supernatural force or some shit like that. “Oh, okay." She nods. “How did I get here?" Alena asks. “Do you mean to the hospital or the pack?" I ask back. “Both," She replies. “Well, as for how you got to my pack, your parents brought you here themselves. And as for how you got admitted, you fainted." “Funny thing, I can't remember my parents bringing me here." Her face scrunches up as she tries to recall when she was brought her. Panicking that she may remember something...or everything, I quickly grab her hand, stopping all her actions. “You said I fainted? Wha
CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR | WEREWOLF HUNTERSNATHAN The sound of shattering glass and screams filled with pain make me jump into action. I immediately take Alena's hand and drag her off the bed. We both hide on the other side of the bed, away from the door. I watch the door cautiously, anxiously waiting for what will happen next. More screams are heard, and then it is suspiciously quiet. I stay still for a few seconds before getting up and walking towards the door to check what the hell is going on. Alena's grip on my hand stops me from moving. “Please, don't leave me." She pleads. “I am not leaving you, baby, I just want to check what is going on. Just stay here for now, you will be fine." I tell her. I advance towards the door and attempt to open it, but to my shock, it is locked. Who the fuck locked us in. I try to forcefully push it open, but it doesn't bulge. The only option left is to break the damn door down. The sound of multiple feet running stops me from breaking down
FIFTY-FIVE | SAFE HOUSE NATHANWe land on the floor softly. I thought we did, but when I tried running again, the sound of Alena's whimper stops me. I was so caught up in making sure we escape safely that I forgot about Alena. Turning back to her, I crouch down. “Are you hurt?" I ask her softly. She glares at me. “I told you I couldn't jump. I clearly said that I would die if I jump, but you forced me to do so you fucking selfish bastard." She yells, groaning in pain. I wince at her words. “You are not dead are you?" Her eyes turn to slit, and I get scared that the fire in her eyes would burn me to death. “I have a broken leg, a broken rib, and a headache. I can't move, which means that I will definitely be caught and maybe killed or turned into an experiment. So I am dead." She dramatically responds. “Stop fucking exaggerating, we were not so far up for you to get injured that much," I say, rolling my eyes. Her mouth opens, ready to retort, but a gunshot makes her stop. Sh
CHAPTER NINETY | MISSING PIECE ALENAI am so glad that everything is finally over. At one point, I was scared Caleb King would kill Lila before we can stop him. We knew we would defeat him and his followers, but the fear of him hurting Lila and the rest of the pack members held us back. Even though Caleb King is dead, I still feel uneasy. I feel like there's a missing piece in the puzzle. Everything went so smoothly and easily...too smooth if you ask me. It was as if Caleb was willing to let us kill him. It shouldn't have been so easy to kill him. I asked Nathan to give me some time to think because one thing kept bothering my mind. Ben said someone already bought me before I was born, and the same person also bought Lila. Has the person given up on having us? The words Caleb King said to me while I was brutally stabbing him kept replaying in my head. He said, “Your enemies are always closer than you think." This means that whoever was helping him is a member of this pack.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE | HAPPY ENDING? NATHANWe all watch Carson try to stab Caleb King with a needle I'm guessing is already drugged. Somehow, Caleb turns at the right time and holds Carson's hands. Shit, we are all so screwed. Carson quickly recovers from his shock and hits Caleb King in the face. “We need to help him," Lucinda screams, already running towards them. To our surprise, most of the rogues don't try to stop us they pave the way for us. I see we all have a common enemy. Caleb King shoots Carson in the leg. Fuck! We didn't even know the psycho has a fucking gun. He points the gun towards us, swinging it left and right. “Don't come closer. Don't you dare, it takes me nothing to kill every one of you within seconds." “Where are my guards? Does fucking traitors. I should have sold you bastards." He screams at the rogues who cower in fear. I see what is going on. They are not willingly working for him, he has something on them. He roughly picks Lila's body off the
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT | THE PLAN ALENAWe have been waiting for the guys to come back for almost five minutes. They were never supposed to take this long. I don't know why they were not back yet. If I hadn't destroyed my and Nathan's mate's bond with humans drug, then I would have been able to tell if he is in danger or not. “Don't you guys think the boys are taking too long? They were only supposed to check if Fallssy is alive and find information from him." I ask Queen Tess and Lucinda. “They will be fine, Alena. Just calm down." Lucinda assures me. “But...what if, I don't know. What if this is a sort of setup or something?" “They will be fine princess." Queen Tess says. I nod my head at her, not knowing how to respond. I have been feeling weird around them since the moment I discovered that they are my real parents. I just can't seem to stomach the fact that I have been living a life built on lies. All my life, I thought I was Alena King, and then suddenly, I am told I am s
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN | TRACKED NATHAN“Have you found anything yet?" I desperately ask Carson. “If I had found something, I would have fucking told you. Get the fuck off my back you piece of shit." Carson hisses. I don't blame him for talking to me that way, neither am I angry. If I were in his situation, I would have probably killed someone in frustration. We have been trying to track the bracelet down since yesterday afternoon. We haven't found anything. Since Carson is the only one that can handle a computer well enough to track something down, he had to stay up all night, while the others went to sleep. Of course, I stayed up with him...for about one hour. I got tired of watching him type meaningless shit and stare at kids' doodles, so I fell asleep. Carson was not one bit impressed with our attitude. He has been cranky and giving us an attitude since we joined him today. It isn't helping that I keep asking him if he has found anything every ten minutes. “I don't get this
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX | FURIOUS...SAD...VIOLATED NATHAN Alena was also a fucking victim. Only the goddess knows what she went through in Caleb King's hands. This news can break her. “How am I fucking sure that everything you just told me is the fucking truth?" I whisper. “Have I ever lied to you? What would I or the leaders of the Black Shadow Pack gain from deceiving you? We both know that the resemblance between Alena and Queen Tess can't be ignored." I nod my head and silently leave the office, not saying anything. The only thing I am able to think about is the pain Alena must have gone through. She was never the bad guy, Caleb King was only using her, right from the fucking beginning. It is then that I remember Alena telling me something about her mother teaching her how to please men. Was that why they taught her that? So that she would be sold when she gets older. I am headed back to the pack hall to call my mate when I run into my mate. “Hey. The party was getting bori
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE | THE TRUTH ABOUT ALENA KINGNATHAN “Leave," I order them. “Please, Nathan, hear us out." Queen Tess begs, her eyes watering. “You want me to hear you out? After how many years? You accused my father of kidnapping a daughter that never existed in the first place. Then, you helped Caleb King in kidnapping my mother and younger sister, raided our pack, and cut all fucking ties with us. You want me to hear you out, did you listen to what my dad had to say?" I whisper-yell. “We never helped Caleb King in kidnapping your Mother or Sister." Alpha Kade frowns. “You said you will do something we all will regret if we don't release your daughter in three days. Three days later, my mother and sister were nowhere to be found. That could not have been a fucking coincidence." Ben gives me a look that screams, ‘Stop acting like a petty bitch and let them talk.' In response, I give him the middle finger. “Look, I swear on the throne of the moon goddess, I had nothing to d
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR | THE BLACK SHADOW PACKNATHANI invited some people over, there is someone you have to meet. “You said you just found out who my mate really is. I am not interested in meeting anyone, I just want to know the information you got about my mate." I respond. “It will make a lot more sense when they get here, just calm down. Alena is not who we think she is." Ben replies, slowly walking away from us. Oh, my goddess! What the fuck has Alena done again? If she killed someone else or has been lying to me about cutting off all the ties she has with her father, then I will have no choice but to kill her. I just hope it isn't what I'm thinking. Nervously, I wait for Ben and the so-called guests, while Carson goes off to get properly dressed. Apparently, the new guests might come with his mate or even be his mate, he wants her to fall in love with him immediately. After waiting for half an hour, I become tired and bored. Seems like the guests are running fucking late.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE | THE RETURN OF DELTA BENJAMINNATHAN“I can't believe you made them kick us out." Alena hisses, hitting me on the shoulder. “It was fucking worth it. The look of embarrassment on your face made me ignore the anger of the Doctor disrespecting his Alpha." I laugh. Alena looks around, and unintentionally starts fidgeting. The stares she is getting are making her uncomfortable. After our...umm...adventure in the hospital room yesterday, the Doctor kicked us out of the hospital and promised not to let us in unless it is very urgent. I would have been furious if not for Alena's reaction. We went back to our room after and continued with no interruptions. We spent the rest of the day in there and didn't come out till the evening of the next day. I think I have forgiven her, but my subjects hate her. I got a call from Gamma Ralph first thing this morning, informing me of Lucinda and Delta Benjamin's arrival. We decided to hold a welcome-back party for the Delta
CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO | POURING EVERYTHING OUTALENAMy pulse hammers against my skin as Nathan moves to the door and closes it while staring at me with his piercing eyes. “Tell me, babe, how do you feel after everything you have done?" He inquires. I know my answer should be that I feel guilty and horrible, but the only thing I am feeling right now is extremely turned on. “I asked you a fucking question." Fuck! If I thought I was wet before, I am definitely drenched now. I don't think the panties I'm wearing would ever dry after this. “I...I...don't fucking know." I barely manage to get my words out. Nathan scoffs and shakes his head, walking closer to me. Nervously and excitedly, I get off the hospital bed, standing a few steps away from him. “You have been helping your dad right? Do you know how many werewolves lost their family members for something they know nothing about? Do you know how many he and she wolves lost their mate? All because of being a daddy girl?" He mocks ag
